Isaiah 34:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹¹ But the desert owl^[a] and the screech owl^[b] shall possess it;
    the great owl and the raven shall live in it.
He shall stretch the line of confusion
    and the plummet of chaos over it.^(A)
12 They shall call its nobles No Kingdom There,
    and all its princes shall be nothing.
¹³ Thorns shall grow over its strongholds,
    nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of jackals,
    an abode for ostriches.^(B)
